(<\/b>ANTIMEDIA<\/b><\/a>)<\/b>\u00a0Washington, D.C. \u2014<\/i>\u00a0As protests continue to\u00a0break out<\/a>\u00a0all around the nation over President Donald Trump\u2019s desire to scrap Obamacare,\u00a0Politico\u00a0<\/i>reported<\/a>\u00a0Tuesday that many politicians\u00a0are beginning to worry about their own personal safety \u2014 to the point where some are having private sessions to discuss the matter.<\/p>\n

Citing sources who were in the room,\u00a0Politico\u00a0<\/i>writes<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cHouse Republicans during a closed-door meeting Tuesday discussed how to protect themselves and their staffs from protesters storming town halls and offices in opposition to repealing Obamacare.\u201d<\/i><\/div>\n

While speaking before a raucous crowd in Roseville, California, Representative Tom McClintock had to be\u00a0escorted<\/a>\u00a0from the stage and away from the event by local police officers.<\/p>\n

McClintock, who held town hall meetings during the politically volatile days of both the Tea Party and Occupy movements,\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0The Hill<\/i>\u00a0he\u2019s never seen anything like it:<\/div>\n

\u201cThis was something very different. After an hour, the incident commander for the Roseville Police Department advised us the situation was deteriorating and felt it necessary to get me out of the venue. That\u2019s never happened before.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

This sentiment appeared to be echoed at Tuesday\u2019s closed-door session. Commenting on the meeting, Republican Study Committee Chairman Mark Walker of North Carolina\u00a0stated<\/a>:<\/p>\n
